Frozen spinach (chopped)
Description
Frozen spinach (chopped) has a delicate, slightly sweet and earthy flavor, and an intense dark green color; after thawing, it creates a moist, finely chopped mass that is easy to add to dishes. It is low in calories, rich in vitamins A, C, K, and folic acid, as well as minerals such as iron and calcium, and antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which support vision, the immune system, bone health, and the cardiovascular system, while also providing fiber for better digestion; it is worth noting the presence of oxalates, which are partially reduced by cooking. In the kitchen, frozen spinach is great for soups, sauces, smoothies, fillings for dumplings and pancakes, casseroles, omelets, and as a side for pasta, fish, and poultry; it pairs well with garlic, cream, cheese, and lemon. Store it in the freezer in its original packaging or an airtight container at around −18°C; after thawing, it is best not to refreeze and to use it within a short time, or add it directly to hot dishes to preserve its flavor and nutritional value.
